Standard configurations for installing the Hydron-Cyklon

Note: There are five diagrams illustrating several aspects of correct and incorrect installation requirements.

General: The device is suitable for installation in hot as well as cold water systems. For recirculating hot water services it is best installed in the recirculating system.

Wherever it is installed, it must be installed VERTICALLY and, if there are more than one in an installation, they must all be installed vertically. It is also essential that the direction of flow through the device is in accordance with the arrow at the inlet port and upwards.

Where the device is to be installed in the cold water supply, and the demand can vary from a trickle to very high flow rates, it is better to use two or more Hydron-Cyklons - one small and then progressively getting larger - to ensure that the helical flow pattern is maintained (see Fig. 1 below).

When using multiple devices the arrangement should also be from the smallest to the largest 'against' the direction of flow
(see Fig. 2 below).

When using multiple devices the arrangement should never allow a preferential flow through the largest device first.

Where the device is to be installed in a recirculating system the Hydron-Cyklon should be installed directly in the flow and a regulating by-pass, of the same diameter as the circulation, constructed around it to permit adjustment of the flow through the Hydron-Cyklon.
